Tolland Fire Department Reminds Residents About Home Depot Fire Safety Program

The Tolland Fire Department is reminding residents that they can take advantage of a promotion sponsored by The National Fire Protection Association and The Home Depot for fire safety tips during the month of October.

Home Depot stores around the country will be hosting workshops that will teach people how to properly install and maintain smoke alarms on Oct. 18.

“Teaming up with NFPA to promote Fire Prevention Week helps reinforce important fire safety messages among the thousands of customers who enter our stores nationwide each day,” said Hila Roberts, merchant, fire safety, for The Home Depot in a release. “Where smoke alarms play a key role in home fire safety, NFPA’s information and resources help educate the public about the extreme importance of smoke alarms in the home. Partnering with them enables us to educate our customers to buy the right alarms to keep their families safe.”

The closest Home Depot to Tolland is in Manchester located at 80 Buckland Hills Dr.
